Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

I have a question concerning comments that where made to me in a meeting with my boss, and administrator? The situation is I was to train an indiviual to do a job and after having him one day i felt he needed more orientation and that his practices were unsafe so i had told the next orientating employee of the flaws he had and that she should watch him closly to guide him to do the actions correctly. This resulted in the employee quiting after 4 days of orientation and me being called to the office for the employee suposally reporting me for me suposally being rude, and not suporting him and his flaws and thats why he quit. The meeting went from me being blammed the employee had quit to it was because of the way my parents raised me that I act the way I do, and that I act like I am on a high horse, and I am in other words prejudice. By no means did my actions make me prejudice. I simple refered to the next oncoming employee to better suit his needs and to further his orientation needs. I also commented to my boss that i even offered for him to go with another employee. I offered because they are both male in gender and i thought maybe he could orient him and benefit him better then i could. before i could explain this, the administrator spoke up and said to me "Why because he is black?" I feel that i have been morally prejudiced by the fact i am a white employee, and automatically they in other words told me i am prejudice agianst other cultures, and that it is my parents fault because of the sheltered life they raised me in. Do you feel I have been wronged? I am really heart-felt over this issue because my administration i felt had no right to down the way my parents raised me, and by far was i raised in the manner the stereotyped me in. Please offer advice...
